Miscellaneous receipts aren't gifts. They're often the candidate's own money moving from an earlier campaign or surplus account, so it's counted again in the campaign that receives it, plus interest and refunds.

Transfers from the candidate's own accounts aren't new gifts. This money moved from the candidate's surplus account or another of their campaigns, so it's counted again in the campaign that receives it.

Payments only. In-kind gifts aren't payments, so their givers aren't in this list.

A contribution is not an accusation. These are campaign finance reports as filed with the Washington Public Disclosure Commission. They show who gave and how much. They don't show that anyone received anything in return.
